Eight Credit Score Myths

The following eight credit score myths are video segments of a conversation I had with my friend, Blair Warner, a Credit Counselor with Upgrade My Credit. The credit score is a very important component of the overall creditworthiness of a buyer, and demands attention.

When you’re starting from zero, it will take about 2 or 3 years to build the kind of credit score that will allow you to get a loan and get it with a good rate.
